Voters, the few of them that weathered the rain Saturday (Dec. 8), settled a handful of runoffs in the New Orleans area, along with a few local initiatives.

The only statewide item on the ballot was the secretary of state’s race, which Republican Kyle Ardoin claimed handily over Democrat Gwen Collins-Greenup. Final results show every parish in the metro area went for Ardoin excect Orleans and St. John the Baptist.

The contests included one parish presidency, school board showdowns in three parishes and a legislative election on the North Shore. In addition, New Orleans voters were asked to consider an alteration to the Sewerage & Water Board roster.

Results, which are unofficial until the secretary of state certifies them, are listed below by parish:
